Follow the whimsical and hilarious situations a chain letter might get you into. Poet Lucille Lang Day makes her children’s book debut with a tongue-in-cheek romp through the adventures of an exceptionally wacky chain letter. Children will love the highfalutin promises and the not-so-nice threats: a believer in the chain letter sends it off immediately and promptly receives a free elephant, while a nonchalant disbeliever gets an unpleasant surprise while sitting on the toilet… Fun, vibrant illustrations of an abominable snowman, a runaway rattlesnake, buried treasures in London, and penguin-sniffing beagles will capture the attention and tickle the funny bone of any child (or childlike adult).

God of the Jellyfish shimmers in a space where moon cacti bloom at night and magpies can fly over a field of small glass bottles. The world Lucille Lang Day creates in her poetry is vivid and surreal yet always deftly anchored in the beauty and truth of the natural world. This is a small handbook of magic. When you read it, youll find yourself transported to places youve never even dared to imagine. Susan Terris There are few contemporary poets who use science in their poetry at all, let alone use it as Lucille Lang Day does here, as an element, both dreamlike and hyperreal, in her gorgeous, moving global lyric. Richard Silberg Lucille Lang Day is the author of four full-length poetry collections - Infinities, Wild One, Fire in the Garden, and Self-Portrait with Hand Microscope, which received the Joseph Henry Jackson Award. Her publications also include a childrens book, Chain Letter, and two previous poetry chapbooks- Lucille Lang Day - Greatest Hits, 1975-2000 and The Book of Answers.

(Poetry. As a scientist and poet, Lucille Lang Day goes be...)
Poetry. As a scientist and poet, Lucille Lang Day goes beyond celebration of the natural world to explore the intersections of science, nature, and human experience, and to meld scientific accuracy with intuition. "Intelligence enjoying itself, awareness at play, attentiveness dancing through life's minefields: smiling at itself in its new black car ('Nor have I shunned onyx jewelry. That would be foolish'), Lucille Lang Day will at first glance make you smile and smile again. Then, with her scientist's mind, her woman's heart, her pain at injustice and evil, and her poet's eye and ear, she will carry you 'through the mountains and canyons of space-time' to a fuller humanity. THE CURVATURE OF BLUE is a wonderful book and I feel lucky to have read it"--Alicia Ostriker.
